BSNS 1133 Introduction to Entrepreneurship Syllabus H01 Spring 2026

Course Policies

Since the majority of this course is based online, please login into the course via Canvas often. Once a day may be too optimistic but you shouldn’t be away from the course for more than two consecutive days.

There will be a 10% late penalty for each day a written assignment (or discussion post) is submitted late, even with instructor approval. No written assignment will be accepted AFTER 7 days late. It is expected that IF you submit a late written assignment, you will send an email to me so I know to go back and grade it for you.

E-mail Policy

1. The subject line of all email to the instructor must begin with the course 
   number AND section number followed by the topic. Here are some examples:

Subject: BSNS 1133.010, Missed class – When is quiz #2?
Subject: BSNS 1133.010, Question on assignment 6
Subject: BSNS 1133.010, Final Exam Date?

Email without a Subject may not be read and will probably be deleted.

2. The body of the email must include at least one complete sentence AND be 
   “signed” with your full first and last name. When asking for help, please do
   your best to be specific about the question(s) and always “sign” your email at the 
   bottom by typing your full first and last name.

Plagiarism Policy

The College considers student plagiarism to be a serious offense. Plagiarism is defined as the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and words of another author and the representation of this material as one’s own original work.

• For the first account of plagiarism, the student will receive a zero for the assignment.
• A second account of plagiarism will result in a zero for the assignment and the incident will be reported to school officials.
• A third account of plagiarism results in the student failing the course and being reported to school officials.

The Academic Honesty Policy refers to discussion posts as well as written assignments. Any time you are using another's words you should be citing it (even from our textbook).

The internet is an incredibly powerful learning tool that provides access to almost unlimited words on any topic. The same powerful internet has also made it easier than ever to detect plagiarism and I treat plagiarism in any form as a very serious offense.

College Policies

 

Withdrawals

When it is necessary to withdraw from a course or from the college, a student 
may do so on or before the withdrawal date without receiving a punitive final 
grade. Students may submit Change of Schedule forms to Student Services or 
through the mail, but they must be postmarked no later than the withdrawal date. 
No withdrawals are allowed by phone. To determine the last date to withdraw 
with a grade of “W” in this course, log into KCCConnect and click on “my 
registration statement” under Academic Profile.

 

Code of Conduct

Students need to adhere to the Code of Conduct located in the college catalog.

E-mail Policy

To ensure a student’s privacy under all applicable education laws and to facilitate 
timely interactions, two College-authorized methods of electronic communication 
exist: KCC-issued student email accounts (using the domain name of 
.student.kcc.edu) and the Canvas Learning Management System. Students are 
expected to regularly check their KCC email accounts and Canvas for important 
incoming communication from the college or from individual instructors. 
Students understand that email they send from personal email accounts (other 
than those listed above) may not be delivered to the KCC recipient, and students 
should have no expectation that such messages will be answered.

Non-Attendance/Non-Participation

KCC complies with state law and federal financial aid policy. If you receive an 
attendance grade of F or are institutionally withdrawn from a course, it will affect 
your eligibility for financial aid. (1) You must attend at least one class, or 
participate at least once for an online course (logging in without participation is 
not attending), by the 10^th day of 16 week courses or within the first 19% of 
shorter term classes. Non-attendance will result in an attendance grade of F. (2) 
If you have excessive absences and at the discretion of the instructor you have
no reasonable chance of passing the course at midterm (or after), your instructor 
may give you a WX grade and have you institutionally withdrawn from the course.
